First Ride

8"x10" oil

I thought I would post the first stage of the painting with transparent paints and the finished product.  I wanted to capture that happy moment of wobbly success.

30-30 challenge #8, #7

Trying to get caught up....I have finished through #7 but still need to post #6

Ready, Set, Go!

8"x10" acrylic

This is the determined "Tom Boy" Princess (is Tom Boy PC???)!   Look good and ride fast!  She reminds me of Pippi Longstockings a bit!  To purchase this painting go here. I painted this while visiting my mom who is also a painter.  She paints in acrylics so I did too. Here is an example of her work:

These are the three paintings:

Each painting is 5"x7" oil on panel (unframed)

Birch Boulder Bike 6"x6" oil on canvas

This is an old rusted bike my son gave to me to put in my garden.  He has a quirky sense of the visual and also a quirky sense of humor and he keeps me laughing.  We have a lot of birch trees in our yard, pines and sugar maples so it is looking very colorful right now.  Since DWP's challenge this week was to paint birch trees, it seemed like a good time to do this painting that I have been thinking about for a while.  This is part of the view out the front of my studio.

Also: remember I am giving away the following painting at the end of Oct. to one of the blog followers who makes a comment on my blog this month.
